Hey everyone 👋
I hope you all enjoyed the weekend!
In this edition of OBX Weekly, we’ll show you the right way to set up your automatic replies in the New Outlook. Let’s get right into it…
💡 FACTS OF THE WEEK
Automatic replies are pre-set email responses, sent out automatically when someone emails you while you're unavailable. They are commonly used in email clients like Outlook, allowing users to notify senders that they are out of the office, on holiday, or otherwise unable to respond.
The two main reasons why automatic replies are important:
✅ Improving Customer Service
Both colleagues and customers can be redirected to other contacts or resources while you are unavailable.
✅ Setting Expectations
Colleagues, customers, and leads will know when to expect a response, so they’re not left in the dark.
For the detailed steps on implementing these tips, and what your automatic reply should look like, head down to this week’s Knowledge Boost!
